Electron is the only rocket in the world to successfully reach orbit with structures built almost entirely out of carbon fiber composites. It’s also the only orbital-class rocket in the world that uses engines with battery-powered pumps. Rocket Lab’s workhorse rocket is relatively unique. It sells for about $7.5
